    "content": "Hon. Speaker, this document brings the intention of President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta of having a united country together with Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. It is also good because it is replacing the pure presidential governance system with a hybrid system where Members of this august House will have a chance to be cabinet secretaries as part of the Executive. We have been suffering trying to respond to Questions on behalf of cabinet secretaries and when a Member asks a follow up question, all a Committee Chair can say is that they will consult. The hybrid system will make it easier for Members to raise supplementary questions with the possibility of getting responses in real time. On the two-thirds gender rule, as women in this House, we did a lot of explaining and lobbying in the 11th Parliament. We even held a dance for the male MPs to try to explain to them the importance of having more women in the House. We came up with a Bill and associated it with Hon. Duale thinking it would get us more buying in. All this has been sorted out by the BBI. We respect men for what they do, but we also agree that women can do much."
